x86_64 compilation for RHEL4 and RHEL3 .spec files needs fix

[nk...@comcast.net]

The .spec files for RHEL4, and apparently for RHEL3, need to use "%{_libdir}" instead of "/usr/lib" in order that they compile properly and build appropriate RPM contents for x86_64 based systems. The spec file is easily patched, as is the RHEL3 and RHEL4 patch, to support this.

The problem is easily duplicated by attempting to compile the subversion-1.3.0 SRPM under RHEL4 on an x86_64 operating system and hardware.

You also have to either tweak the rhel-4/rhel-3 patch to put things in the 
appropriate RPM build directory and %{_libdir}/httpd/modules subdirectory 
instead of the patch's hard-coded /usr/lib/httpd/modules directory, or do 
something else. It's a one-line "sed" statement in the .spec file the way 
I'm doing it, which I'll be happy to provide the patch for.

I went ahead and submitted an "issue", what any other project in the world 
would call a Bugzilla bug report, and directed it to David Summers.

Hello nkadel, the builds for various platforms are maintained by 
individuals not necessarily associated "officially" with the SVN 
project, so comments regarding those builds should probably go to the 
maintainer.

Incidentally I have sent David Summers (the maintainer for the RHEL 
SRPMs) a patch for this very same issue but haven't heard back yet 
whether he plans on using it.

Were you able to get the httpd modules to install to the correct 
location, or did you have to change the module configure options? Mine 
got put in /usr/lib/httpd/modules even after I changed all instances of 
/usr/lib to %{_libdir}. I manually moved them to 
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules and everything worked fine.
